SEECIFICATIONfcrming part of'letters Patent No. 293,149, dated February 5, 1884.-.

V `Application filed December 14, 1883. (No model.)

To 'all whom, it may concern: Beit lrnown that I, JAMES H. ORANDELL,

a citizen 'of theUnitcd States, residing at Upper Marlborough, in` the county of Prince 5 Georges and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Machine Motors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing, which represents a sectional view.

The object of this invention is to improve thatclass of sewing-machines which are operated by the power of a spring or springs through atrain of gear-wheels or pulleys and belts, that transmit power to and give the nec-` essary motion to the needle-bar of a sewingmachine 5 and it consists in a simple arrangement of parts, whereby the motion imparted by the spring to the operating parts may be controlledA to give any desired speed, or to be entirely stopped whenever necessary.

In the drawing, A represents the supporting-frame, which may be of any desired form or size as the hind of work to be` performed thereon may dictate or the intermediate actuating parts between the spring and the needle-bar may require.

A is the table to support the work that'is to be operated upon.

B is a transverse horizontal shaft, in proper bearings in frame A,having one end square, and projecting a proper distance outside the frame A,to permit awinding-key to be applied theretoto wind the spring close4 around the shaft, and means for keeping the spring wound.

B is .the spring coiled or wound around the shaft B, one end of which is fast to the shaft or to a drum on the shaft, while the outer end, b, of the spring is secured or attached to or around a transverse rod, b', vthat is fastened to frame A.

Gis a spur-gear wheel fast upon shaft B, 4having teeth c on its periphery and revolving with shaft B. A

I) is a horizontal shaft placed above the shaft 13,130 revolve in suitable bearings in frame A,

and having toothed pinion D thereon so placed that the teeth d thereof will gear with teeth c on wheel C 5o E represents `another spur-gear wheel havving on its perimeter teeth e, and it revolve with shaft D.h

F represents a transverse shaft that revolves in proper bearings in frame A.

F is a toothed pinion fast on shaft F, and so placed on the shaft that its teeth f will gear into teeth e on wheel E.

G is a band and iiy wheel fast Aon shaft F, and revolves with said shaft F. i

y is a band or belt around wheel G, thence 6o` upward and` through the table-top A at a a.,

then around pulley H onl shaft h, which shaft h communicates motion, through any known instrumentalities, to the needle-bar or to any other operating device desired.

I represents a rock-shaft placed transversely across frame A, and to freely worl in proper bearings in the said frame A.

J is a brakeshoe attached to brake-lever J,

thence going `in a proper direction toand 7o i brake-shoebeing heavier than the foot-treadle,

it will, when free, of `itself fall down out of contact with wheel G.

L is a hand-lever, pivoted at its lower end t0 stud Z, that projects from frame A a suit- 85 able distance. A

Mis a reciprocating bar placed horizontally within frame A, and freely sliding in guides m m., pivoted to hand-lever L at Z', or so that the lever L will force the inner end of bar M 9o between the teeth c on wheel C; andwhen the bar is so forced between the teeth c the action of the spring ceases to operate the machine until the stop-bar is forced out from the contact or between the teeth.

This spring-power, described as being ap plied to sewing-machines, can also be applied t0 any othei simple machine, such'as turninglathes, circular sawing machines, and the like, and the speed may be varied by the introducloo tion of any proper intermediate trein of gear- Wheels or plleys and belts.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters 5 Patent, is-

l. The foot-treadle K, rod if, rook-shaft I, lever J', :ind brake-shoe J,`in combination with the Wheel G, substantially as und for the purposes described.

Io 2. The pivoted hand-lever L, reciprocatingl bar M, and guides m, in eombinationwith the tooth-Wheel C, as and for the purposes described. Y v

In testimony whereof I atix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
